Yes. Medical malpractice, as well as most personal injury cases, have a SOL. The SOL can vary by state and may depend on factors such as when the injury was discovered or should have been discovered, although it’s usually between 2-3 years. To better understand the statute of limitations in your state and get personalized legal advice, it's advisable to consult with a local attorney experienced in medical malpractice cases. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and the laws in your jurisdiction.
